I checked the time stamps of some runners-up and it's not adding up. Is it fair to say the Message count as it refreshes in the forum statistics is way, way off?

Dreams of a new mod, gone. :(

Time stamp of what posts? I don't think the actual winning posts have been mentioned have they?

The stats update every 10 mins, and IIRC the count went from about 300 short of 15 million, to over 15 million at right around 4AM west coast time so the winning posts should start from around that time period and progress from there (depending on what type of pattern they are using to select winners) but I believe the post count on the stat box is correct, but doesn't match up to how many posts have actually been made over the years due to posts getting deleted and what not. The time that the forum displays is wildly inaccurate for me because I never changed the time zone setting, so maybe you're time settings are causing some confusions?

There's still more winners too!

Yeah, it was fun as everything.. and I don't begrudge anyone who's already won something. I'm just grumpy because my lack of sleep made me so foggy and I burnt my finger so badly last night while fixing dinner -- I *knew* I wasn't up for anything ambitious, but figured I'd do ok with microwave stuff... but you do not want to be trying to remove the plastic film from a Stouffer's lasagna when you're walking in your sleep. :facepalm: Because THIS happens:

It's hard to tell from the pic, but that red area is a blister... full 2nd-degree burn. But I slept for ELEVEN HOURS last night, midnight to 11am... and it feels better today. I have it bandaged now so it won't encounter anything warm or hot...

Andria, put Neosporin for Pain Relief then a bandage , works incredible.

Did you see my idea about the winner (ME!!!:p!!!) and runner ups being granted life time "supporting member" status/privileges? :p :banana:

And then if sent them money anyway, it would just be a gift, for being such an awesome forum. :D

I did, and just bought some more 'cause I'm nearly out, but it really doesn't hurt anymore... though I'm sure that could easily change if I had to do the dishes, so my husband has been notified that he needs to step up and take one... or two or three... for the home team. :D

And we bought lots of frozen meals at the grocery, since cooking entails a lot more dishes than just putting stuff on plates. :D

I did, but I would have left one of the two gift certificates up for grabs for a runner up...spread the wealth and all :p

You deserve whatever prizes you chose :) I said it earlier but worth saying again you serve our country and that is wonderful.

If they gave you the entire prize list I would be OK with that!

Lets not forget what this giveaway is all about. I know im a newbie here, but even i see that this was about giving back to this incredible community of vapers. Every winning person is just as deserving as the other. I was happy just being a part of the craziness!

There's still more winners too!

For example, the runner-up half-way down the list "cdrice15" posted between 6:25-7:07AM EST which means the first winning post occurred some time in between.

The winning time guess was "Monday June 1st 5:10:10 EST" which SJ said was just 2 hours off, which would put the winning post ~6:45-7:07AM EST. Which should make "WifeyCO" the winner of the time-guess.

"Monday June 1st 5:10:10 EST" <--- V8inDamma
"Monday, June 1 06:14:30 EST" <--- WifeyCO

Before and After.

@Chakris Not just now I can't - because I don't have access to it, but we'll explain what the process was when we've announced the runners up.

Essentially, there's no real way to tell which post was exactly the 15millionth, so we used a random process to choose the winner at the approximate time the 15millionth post was being made.

Pretty much the fairest way we could find to do it!

As you know, the 15 millionth post was actually made some time ago, but due to post deletions, two software migrations, certain forums not counting etc etc, we have 15m posts now that are in the database. It's all a little arbitrary, but all good fun, and it is still a landmark for our community.

Good .. Keep doing that for a few days and you should be OK.

My Friend recently (4 days ago) got a second degree burn on her hand so I just happened to have looked it up..
Because she was putting peroxide on it and then the neosporin and bandage.... Peroxide on a burn.. BIG NO NO!!!
Only mild soap and water to clean it.

Get this.. My friend burnt her hand because her RV engine started smoldering and she reached in and pulled the wires to avoid a fire.
Youch!!! That hurts just hearing about it!!:-x

After freaking out every time I had an alert on my account I wake up this morning to some wonderful news! Thanks so much ECF! I really, really wasn't expecting to win anything, there were like 1000 people online with posts appearing like crazy so I figured it was one in a million but sometimes cool things happen I guess, this is my first time ever winning anything so I'm pretty excited!

As a west coaster I had to stay up until like 5 am, I've been exhausted ever since so I'm glad to see it was worth it. Hopefully the winning post I made was a good one! Truly amazing list of prizes, I hope my luck holds out and I get the new-born unicorn that I'm after. I might seriously loose my crap if that happens. I left the Provari and Reo out of my top pics so those who wanted them don't have any competition from me!

And what a great guy USMCotaku is! IPV Mini II is an awesome mod, and I know from personal experience it isn't easy to get that finish on the type of metal being used, lots of hard work went into that device and hopefully it will make someone extremely happy! I'll have to put together something to PIF as well, thanks for the inspiration USMC!

Thanks again ECF and good luck to everyone on their prizes and on the next round of winners!


Congrats, Uncle Chuck. There seems to be a good representation of Oregonians here!

hum seems reasonable but of course I am too new to know diddly - perhaps WifeyCo did and declined, perhaps a mistake had been made in which case I imagine it will get sorted out or perhaps the organizers and others are mean little gnomes out to swindle the masses or perhaps sometimes caca just happens- I imagine I will find out eventually:)
